Words By Naseem Shah
‘I don’t think anyone is thinking about the India game, because as a professional you can’t dwell on the past – especially when you lose. Everyone was positive after that game.’
Words By David Miller
‘In the past year we’ve found ourselves in tricky situations and managed to get over the line. The guys have managed to find their roles. If one of us is not doing well, another one picks up the slack. It’s difficult to do well in this format because there are a lot of variables, but we’ve managed to do well as a team.’
